“Are you missing your beloved already?”, Lucas Stern asked, jabbing his friend in the ribs with the pen in his hand.Calvin Sinclair turned to glare at his closest friend. “What is wrong with you? What the hell did you do that for?”.Lucas ignored his icy glare as he joined him, placing his hands on the railing if the balcony that overlooked the brightly lit splendor of the big city.“Your sad look of pained longing was too much for me to bear and it appealed to my good heart so I thought to come out here and cheer you up”.“By stabbing me in the side with a pen?”, Calvin asked, acidly.“I wouldn’t exactly go so far as to call it stabbing though”, Lucas said and turned to him. “Why are you here anyway? You only come out when you’re worried or thing about something. Is it about Linda?”, He asked. They had become close friends when they were in elementary school since their families had close friendly relations and they moved in the same social circle. Lucas has found out about his

“So what’s this I’m hearing about a cute guy? “, Erin asked, wriggling her eyebrows as she sat cross legged on the sofa.“It’s nothing really. No one. Just some random guy I spoke to for a few minutes while I took his order. I think he said his name was Liam? I don’t know. He was really cute but I don’t think I’ll see him again”, Melanie said, feeling a little uneasy.“He might come by the restaurant again. He seemed like he was really into you”.“Whatever, really. Let’s talk about something else. I definitely wouldn’t be his type. He probably just spoke to me because he wanted to be polite. It didn’t look like he was flirting anyway”.“Sure”, Leila dragged out and turned to Erin, “What about you? Why did you have to work during your lunch break? Did anything happen? “.Melanie frowned. “Yeah, are you still having problems with your boss? “, She asked, remembering the complaints she had made a couple of days ago.“You’re having issues with your boss? From what I heard, he's quit

“So, what are you going to do about this Linda lookalike? Are you going to give her the job?”, Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow.“I don’t think so. I spoke with the interviewers and according to them, she seemed to be quite intelligent and passionate but she isn’t as qualified as some of the others that applied alongside her”.“Does that matter? You’re the boss here. You can pick and hire whosoever you damn well please. Why are you pretending to be modest?”.Calvin rolled his eyes. “I’m only interested in doing what’s right for the company and it doesn’t make any sense to choose her over all the others when she’s the one with the least qualifications”.“That still changes nothing. She’s working directly for you. If she’s so terrible, then you can just easily fire her. If you really need a reason, give her the job because she looks like Linda”, He glanced at his friend’s face and scoffed. “Oh, don’t give me that dirty look. Admit that you’re curious about their uncanny resemblance.

“Perfect”, Melanie whispered as she glanced lovingly at the delicious breakfast she had prepared and finished setting on the dining table.This was a couple of days since the sleepover and she had continued working at the small restaurant as a waitress waiting for a call or an email from the company.Grinning, she knelt on the floor and poured milk into Penny’s bowl and emptied a small can of cat food into the other bowl beside it. Her phone rang as she got up and dusted the lint from her oversized argyle angora sweater and baby blue denim trousers.“Hey, baby”, She said with a smile.“Good morning to you too, babe”, Erin said over the phone.“Shouldn’t you be at work by now?”, Melanie asked, glancing at the grandfather clock that stood in a corner of the living room. “It’s almost 9am”.“I’m there already. Just getting ready fro another day of being stressed out while being ignored by my boss for no reason. After he confronted me the day before about being a 'spy' for his pare

As the deputy CEO of his family’s large company, Calvin had been dreading the dinner that would be had after the stakeholders meeting all day. His palms were sweaty, and his stomach was in knots. He hated these kinds of events- the ones where he was required to schmooze with potential investors and valuable clients, pretending to be interested in their bland conversation while all he really wanted was to go home and lie in bed.But his best friend Lucas had convinced him to come to dinner at a small restaurant they had been to once before, claiming that the food was incredible and the atmosphere was inviting. Calvin trusted Lucas’ judgment, so he reluctantly agreed. Thomas had never had time to visit or had any liking for sugary pastries and tiny restaurants. But on this particular evening, the smell of freshly baked apple pie wafting through the air drew him towards the small restaurant in the downtown area.When they arrived, they were welcomed by the sound of clinking glasses a

Melanie laughed along with her friends who sat around the counter of the little kitchen in her home. “Mel, dear. I think I just saw the mail man drop off some letters in the box. Could you please bring them in?”, Her grandmother's voice came from her bedroom right next to where they were.“Sure, Nana” , Melanie answered and excused herself to go check out what letters had been stuffed violently into their tiny mailbox.As she gathered up the letters, a particular logo on one of the envelopes caught her eye and her breath caught in her throat. It was the logo of the company she had interviewed for over a week ago and was still awaiting a response and though she hadn’t felt much hope, her heart was now viciously pounding against her chest threatening to burst through her body. They had sent her a letter. Did that mean that they wanted to hire her? That had to be why. Companies didn’t send envelopes to applicants to reject them. They could just as easily done it over the phone or i

She had been looking forward to starting this new job, but now that she was here, she wasn’t sure that she was ready for it.That’s when she looked up and locked eyes with a man standing in the doorway. He was exceptionally good looking, with chiseled features and piercing blue eyes. Melanie felt her heart skip a beat as the man stepped into the room and approached her. Her heart began to beat a little faster as she realized that he was the man she had
